Hello Tuesday.
I’m big into what I call “sandwich management.” I don’t like a sloppy sandwich that falls all over the place. Liberty has incredible burgers and sandwiches, but they’re stacked vertically in a way that will never stay together. Never. This is why I love the torpedo-ness of Which Wich (or Jimmy John’s for that matter), you know the sandwich is going to stay intact. Anyways.
